Well there are now three sets of drivers: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9755/README/appendix-a.html o Legacy 71xx drivers (broadly GeForce 2 and below) o New legacy 96xx (broadly GeForce 2MX- GeForce 4 4000) o "Supported" new drivers (broadly GeForce 5000 and above)
I strongly suspect the new drivers will no enable GL even when composite is in use as NVIDIA feel the worst of the composite problem have been ironed out in newer Xorg releases: .http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9755/README/appendix-s.html -- nvidia-glx-legacy has disabled GL by default https://launchpad.net/bugs/91064 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
